Russ was an excellent guide, we had a great time. The St. Augustine history and ghost stories were very interesting. The food and drink part of this tour was also top notch. We will definitely be calling on Russ for a different tour our next visit to St. Augustine.

Along coasts, plazas were to begin at the waterfront - to see and to be seen. Since 1598, a government building has stood on this site with a view of the harbor landing, accommodating administrative headquarters and residences of colonial governors appointed by the Crowns of Spain, then Britain, then Spain again.

We had an absolutely fantastic time on the Walking History Tour of St. Augustine. From start to finish, it was engaging, well paced, and packed with memorable stories and sites, including lesser-known local tales that you’d probably miss on your own. Russ (our guide) was outstanding — warm, personable, and obviously passionate about the city’s history. He made connections between events and people in a way that brought the past alive. Russ had a remarkable depth of knowledge, storytelling skills, and willingness to answer questions. What made the experience even better: the guide would pause at scenic spots so you could soak in the ambiance of the historic district — the coquina walls, narrow streets, hidden courtyards — all while weaving in fascinating context. The mix of big landmarks and quiet corners gave a full sense of the city’s layers. If you’re in St. Augustine and want more than a walk—you want a vivid, meaningful journey through time—this tour is a must. Highly recommend it to first-timers, history lovers, or anyone who wants to see the city through expert eyes.
